Frequently Asked Questions
How IGNITEAI Works
Everything you need to know about AI visibility, why it matters, and how IGNITEAI helps your business get found when AI answers.
What is AI visibility?
AI visibility measures whether AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity can discover and recommend your business when potential customers ask for recommendations in your industry. When someone asks an AI 'best realtor in Arlington TX' or 'top pressure washing company in Fort Worth,' your AI visibility determines whether they hear your name — or your competitor's.
Why does AI visibility matter for my business?
More people are using AI instead of search engines to find local businesses. When someone asks an AI for a recommendation, they get a single answer — not a list of links to browse. If your business isn't visible to AI, you're losing customers to competitors who are. This shift is happening now, and most businesses haven't adapted yet.
How is this different from regular SEO?
Traditional SEO helps you rank on Google's search results. AI visibility helps you get mentioned when someone asks an AI a question directly. They're related but require different approaches. SEO focuses on keywords and links. AI visibility focuses on making sure AI models can read, understand, and trust your business information. You need both — but AI visibility is the one most businesses are missing.
What does IGNITEAI scan for?
Our scanner checks how well AI agents can discover, read, and understand your website. It looks at whether your content is accessible to AI, whether your business information is structured correctly, whether your site has the trust signals AI models look for before recommending a business, and whether your site is optimized for AI discovery. You get a 0-100 score with a clear breakdown of what's working and what needs attention.
What is the AI Citation Tracker?
The Citation Tracker checks whether your business gets mentioned when real AI models are asked for recommendations in your industry and location. It shows you your citation rate across multiple AI platforms, what position you're mentioned in, how accurately the AI describes your business, and which competitors are getting mentioned instead of you. This is the feature that sets IGNITEAI apart — we actually ask the AI models if they know you.
How long does a scan take?
A full scan takes about 20-30 seconds. The AI Citation Tracker takes a bit longer since it's checking multiple AI platforms with multiple queries. Results are available immediately.
What score should I aim for?
A score of 80+ means your site has a strong technical baseline for AI discovery. A score of 100 means you've done everything right. Most websites score between 40-70 because they're built for human visitors, not AI agents. If you're below 60, you have critical issues making you invisible to AI. Between 60-80, you have important blockers to fix. Above 80, you're in good shape with room to improve.
What does it mean if my site isn't AI-readable?
It means AI models that try to visit your site can't understand what your business does, where you're located, or what services you offer. They'll either skip you entirely or fill in the gap with information from your competitors or outdated sources. Making your site AI-readable ensures that when AI models talk about you, they get it right.
What are trust signals and why do they matter?
AI models look for certain signals before recommending a business — things like a real about page, contact information, privacy policy, and consistent business details across your site. These trust signals tell the AI that your business is legitimate and worth recommending. Missing trust signals can cause AI models to skip you in favor of a competitor who has them.
How much does IGNITEAI cost?
IGNITEAI has four tiers, all self-serve. Free includes the 16-check technical AI-readability scan only — no paid AI audits. Starter ($99/month) adds 3 AI audits per month, fix plans, and schema generation. Pro ($299/month) includes 10 AI audits per month, 5 monitors, competitor comparison, and historical trend tracking. Agency ($799/month) includes 25 AI audits and 25 monitors, white-label reports, and everything in Pro. You can start free — no credit card required.
Can I fix the issues myself or do I need help?
Our scan report includes clear, prioritized recommendations for each finding. Many issues are straightforward to fix on your own. For more complex optimizations, AIO Inc. offers full implementation services — we can take your site from invisible to fully AI-visible in a single day.
How often should I scan my site?
We recommend scanning at least once a month. AI models update regularly, and your site changes over time — new pages, updated content, broken links. A monthly scan catches issues before they cost you visibility. Pro and Agency plans include scheduled monitors and historical trend tracking so you can see your score improve over time.
What is the FAQ Generator?
The FAQ Generator creates optimized frequently asked questions for your business that AI models can easily read and understand. You tell us your business name, industry, services, and locations, and our team generates 15-25 relevant questions with clear, factual answers formatted for AI discovery. We handle the writing, formatting, and deployment — you just review and approve. It saves hours of work and ensures your FAQs are optimized so AI models can extract them when recommending your business.
Who built IGNITEAI?
IGNITEAI was built by AIO Inc., a technology company in Fort Worth, Texas. We built it because businesses need to know if AI models can find and recommend them — and most don't. IGNITEAI is the real version of what others pretend to offer: actual AI visibility tracking, real citation checking, and actionable recommendations that improve your score.
